Guy Hunter-Watts, the owner of the place is a super host. When my wife & I stayed there, their where three other couples resident. We where concerned about having dinner on our first nights stay, sitting around the table with six complete strangers, but it was great, all having a common interest, mainly in walking. The following morning, Guy was... more

What a find!! El Tejar is nestled at the top of a small local village, 20 minutes from Ronda. Guy (the owner) made us feel especially welcome from the moment we arrived. The house is basically expected to be used as your home whilst staying there. You have access to a bar (nominal charge, 1 EURO per beer or glass... more

Five years my husband and I fled the cold damp miserable english weather and escaped to Andalucia and purely through happenstance found ouselves in a wonderful place called in El Tejar.

El Tejar is a magical place to stay. The relaxed atmosphere is a credit to the character of the owner, Guy.

Infact Guy, the owner took us on the most glorious walk through mountain passes and valleys littered with old oak and cork trees . Guy talked us through some... more

Nestled in the hills above the picturesque white village of Montecorto, you are blessed with quiet and a spectacular view of the National Park of Gazalema, while the lower hills and valleys are "Tuscan"-like with olive groves and vineyards. Perfectly located, almost equidistant from Ronda, Grazalema and Zahara, El Tejar offers a... more

We loved our stay at El Tejar. The location was perfect for combining cultural visits with walking through stunning scenery (aided by the guidebook written by our host and his knowledge of local and Spanish history). A rainy day proved no problem with a superb selection of music and very special books. The house-party style dinners with good Spanish cooking... more
